Abstract
A hearing aid for relieving high frequency hearing loss, includes a volume control that allows the user to gradually adjust and increase the degree of compensation at a pace which corresponds to their particular need. The volume control changes the slope of the response from a flat insertion gain response, when it is turned down, to a rising insertion gain, when it is turned up. Thus, the volume control is not a traditional gain control but a slope control by which the sound clarity can be adjusted.
